Hey I had the same problem, I built a Cocoa solution using
the IOPowerManager interface, dailyWakeup. When periodic
daily then runs I have it requeue a request for the next day.
I also wrote a GUI interface to the timer queue ( Cocoa
based).
My main problem is that when I wake the box up, it won't
stay awake very long, just three or four minutes even though
the energy saver panel is set for 15 minutes.

If you look at the system log, I bet it will show the wakeup
did take place, it probably went back to sleep before the
task fired. I find that I have to fiddle a bit to get the wakeup
close enought to task time. Cron only checks one a minute...
